Annotation
The description of the Advanced Thin Ionization Calorimeter (ATIC) experiment and its main results are presented. The ATIC experiment is an important step in Galactic cosmic-ray investigations that use the direct methods that were first carried out in the PROTON experiment in the 1960s. We consider the contribution of the ATIC experiment to the understanding of the Galactic cosmic ray origin and propagation.
